Our Mission

Titusville is a city located in Crawford County, Pennsylvania. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 6,146. In 1859, oil was successfully drilled in Titusville, resulting in the birth of the modern oil industry.

Why Titusville?
Why did Drake choose this spot to drill for oil? Well, the number one beacon was the many active oil seeps in the region. As it turns out, there had already been wells drilled that had struck oil in the region. The only problem was, they weren't drilling for oil. Instead, they were looking for salt water or just plain drinking water. When they struck oil, they considered it a nuisance and abandoned the well. At the time, no one really knew what to do with the stuff if they found it ....more

The Titusville YMCA was built in 1912 and has been an ever growing part of Titusville’s heritage and an important factor in the community.

     

On May 20, 1912 A campaign to raise $75,000 dollars for a new YMCA building was launched by Titusville community leaders. Campaign headquarters was located in the Commercial Bank building. The seven-day drive was ended on the fifth day, as $90,000 had been subscribed.

The YMCA is still facilitated in that same building, and is a landmark and cornerstone of the community.
